- Wi...Modern tractography has taught us nothing new<br />- Wise works with patients. He wants to make them better, modern tractography has not helped us do this. He is correct.<br /><br />&quot;Broca&#39;s area and Wernicke&#39;s area have expanded like Balkan states.&quot; [uh, wouldn&#39;t that similie imply fragmentation, not expansion?]- Clearly he is referring to the number of states not the political systems. Many people from the Balkans would reject the notion of fragmentation so be careful. The number has grown, as has the geographical description of the term to no longer refer to those regions only surrounding the Balkan mountains- a bit like Broca and Wernicke&#39;s area.<br /><br /><br />We should &quot;throw out most of the literature from stroke aphasia.&quot;- clearly an ironic comment as he as produced much of it. Irony my dear friend.<br /><br />fMRI studies of language have &quot;fostered confusion, not understanding.&quot;- show me one honest neuroscientist who disagrees with this and I&#39;ll illustrate how their studies have just contributed to the confusion. Humility.<br /><br />Hickok &amp; Poeppel &quot;have a job for life.&quot;- a compliment if ever I&#39;ve heard one. borednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-49938868088122087502008-06-15T15:29:00.000-07:002008-06-15T15:29:00.000-07:00Happy Father's Day to Professor Wise!Happy Father's Day to Professor Wise!The Neurocritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010555869208208621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-30182062947457331492008-06-15T10:01:00.000-07:002008-06-15T10:01:00.000-07:00go dad!go dad!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-25938704935309896842008-05-15T04:07:00.000-07:002008-05-15T04:07:00.000-07:00Oh dear, cultural misunderstanding indeed!
